This restaurant's overall star value is determined by comparing its ratings against
those of other restaurants in the same city.

A teacher might call this grading on a curve. At Seamless, this means that regardless
of their actual tally, restaurants with the highest ratings will have five stars,
those with average ratings will have three, and the not-so-favorite restaurants
will have the least number of stars.

So pay it forward to the Seamless community. Rate and review places you've tried
so we can all find food happiness!

In 1999, Brian Shebairo and childhood pal Chris Antista hashed out a plan to serve hotdogs in the alley behind Lansky Lounge, a (now closed) speakeasy that Chris operated in Manhattan's Lower East Side. They grew up in New Jersey eating at Johnny & Hanges, Callahan's, Hiram's, Rutt's Hut, Nathan's and Walter's. On October 6, 2001, after two years of research and development (riding their motorcycles throughout the northeast to sample hot dogs as far as the Windmill in South Jersey and the Super Duper Weenie in Fairfield, CN) Brian and Chris opened Crif Dogs, a name they came up with when Brian tried to say his former partner's name with a hot dog in his mouth.

Delicious! We tried five different dogs, and the only one that disappointed was the corn dog-- it came burnt. (Our favorite of the bunch was the Jon-Jon Deragon. Strange but delicious.) The vanilla shakes are great too.

Horrible everything. The delivery took 2 HOURS, and everything was a sticky, leaking mess by the time it got here. The hot dogs tasted like they would have been good, had they been hot, but I couldn't really say because they arrived lukewarm at best. Save yourself the heartache and just make your own hot dog.

Seriously good food (I tried 3 different dogs) and milkshake (chocolate). Good lord, I order from Seamless a lot, and this is one of the best meals I've ordered. Yummm. Good dogs, good toppings, originality, good temperature, perrfecto.

The food was great. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that I ordered a chocolate shake which was in a paper cup in a brown paper bag inside the plastic bag that held that held the whole order. The cup the shake was in had been smashed and therefore the brown paper bag was what was basically holding the shake. I was only able to have three sips of the shake that was left in the cup. But it was all good because I had no business drinking a whole chocolate shake along with chili cheese tater tots and two hot dogs.

Dogs were okay but the tater tots came burnt and the delivery guy was incredibly rude. Really wish I could get my tip back...definitely won't order again.

Disgusting. Hot dogs were ice cold. Order was all messed up. Food arrived over an hour later than estimated delivery time. Disaster. Never again.

It is what it is: hot dogs, chili, milkshakes and fries. Delivery is quick, food is hot and well, it tastes good.

Always a rollercoaster with Crif's. Yes, they have some really awesome dog creations, all tasty when you're inside the actual place. Delivery is where it gets iffy. One night you'll get the dogs still hot, toppings on point, another night you'll get toppings all over the wrapper, corn dog just slimy with grease & waiting 2 hours for it.
Update 5/11/2011: They're delivery has gotten better, the food actually comes hot, taters come crispy.However, the bottom of the tater tots dish was at least 1/4th filled with oil. Crazy.
Crif's, get your delivery act together or don't deliver at all.

Great prices, great food. Love the tots and there are so many choices for great hot dogs. Enjoy eating there and ordering from there. Will definitely order again.
